The clouds that sheltered the city from the
direct rays OF the sum- and the little breeze that
kept the foliage in motion this morning. afforded
q grateful change from yesterdays frying tenn
perature. The heat has been not only very great.
but also unusually prostrating In its effects The
ordinary washington summer sun draws copfous
perspiratfon but seldom strikes. Yesterday, how
ever cases Of prostration ran up close to score In
number, and five deaths are recorded But the
sun has been deadly everywhere. In Pittsburg,
where the thermometer Jagged a good many de-
grees behind ours, there were seventeen deaths
from the heat up TO noon yesterday in popula-
ton just about the same as ours Richmond. with
Q population perhaps one-third as large, had six
fatal cases. Cincinnati, with population some
what larger than Washington, had twenty-six
prUstrat1ons and six deaths. Other cities furnish
Ike contrasts favorable to Washington It Is to
be hoped that the superlatively hot wave Is now
ebbing, and that the period is over In which the
only possible approach TO GOODNESS is found In
contemplating the superior heat and more fatal
sunstrOkes OF others.
